SENT TO ALGHERO. Sardinia is a talisman for the national tennis teams. Thirteen times on the island, thirteen victories. The one obtained yesterday against France is worth the Finals of the Bille Jean King Cup tennis, whose venue is to be established. The party was great on the Tc Alghero power plant. The decisive point was conquered by Camila Giorgi. The thirty-year-old from Marche has literally “paved” (6-2; 6-0) Harmony Tan, who replaced Alizè Cornet, stopped by a groin problem and forced, despite her, to forfeit.
He matches. To the French tennis player he granted the first two games, those necessary to take the measurements, and then put on twelve consecutive games and write the end to the challenge with the transalpine. A great show the one given to the fans by Giorgi, who exhibited all her strokes with ease. In particular the law, played naturally. A few too many mistakes in the initial phase, a small empty passage that did not last long. The Frenchwoman tried to slow down the pace, but the “little game” was only successful in the first exchanges. After Giorgi he got into … sixth and there was no escape for Tan. The difference in technical values between the two players is too much, in this match she appeared even more clear. Giorgi has sent comforting signals in view of the next appointments that await her, before the tournament in Stuttgart and after that in Madrid.
Twice. The two teams have agreed not to play yesterday’s second singles which would have faced Jasmine Paolini against Ocean Dodin. The challenge ended with the double that saw Bronzetti-Trevisan on one side, Dodin and Kristina Mladenovic on the other. The transalpines have collected the point of the flag by winning in two sets: 7-6, 6-1. But the blue have the alibi that perhaps at that point the head was down elsewhere.
The party. When Camila scored the decisive point, the central of Tc Alghero became a bedlam, turning into an open-air disco. All to embrace Giorgi and captain Garbin, always generous with advice to “his of hers” players of hers. The blue team went around the field waving the tricolor flag, then the water balloons began for everyone, with Cocciaretto and Paolini literally unleashed. The music that the loudspeakers transmitted very high, was the setting for the ballets that the girls staged. Giorgi, elegant and refined as usual, limited herself to a few hops. Perhaps her head was already projected to the commitments she will have to face shortly.
Applause. For the organization. Everything worked perfectly. There were no smudges, everything in its place. But also the fans who both in the first and second day were about two thousand, responding to the great. The hunger for high-level tennis in Sardinia is great. There is not only the cabal in favor of the island, but also the level of leadership that on this occasion, as in the others, made sure that everything ran smoothly. Great tennis will return to Sardinia. Sooner than you think.
